<div role="main"><h1>Controlling debug execution</h1>

<p>The debug execution controls are superceded by breakpoints. For example, if 
you attempt to step over a function and the program hits a breakpoint, 
it pauses, regardless of whether the function is completed. You can control your debug execution in various ways, but they all rely on a 
core set of debug controls. </p>

<p>To control a debug execution:</p>

<ol>
  <li>In the <strong>Debug</strong> view, select a thread.</li>
  <li>To control the debug session, click:
  <ul><li><strong>Run &gt; Resume</strong></li>
  <li><strong>Run &gt; Suspend</strong></li>
  <li><strong>Run &gt; Terminate</strong></li>
  <li><strong>Run &gt; Disconnect</strong></li>
  <li><strong>Run &gt; Remove All Terminated Launches</strong></li>
  <li><strong>Run &gt; Restart</strong></li>
 </ul>
 </li>
 </ol>
